“I am fortunate that the makers have that confidence in me – It is liberating from an audience point of view,” the ‘Guru’ actor added.
Praising Abhishek for his recent work in “I Want to Talk”, “Housefull 5” and “Kaalidhar Lapata”, dad Amitabh Bachchan penned on his X in Hindi, “Ek saal main teen filmein banaayi aur teeno alag alag bhumikaaye. I Want to Talk ; Houseful 5 , Kaalidhar Lapata .. Aur teeno main, aesa pradarshan jo sab se alag kirdaar; kahin bhi nahi laga ki ye Abhishek Bachchan hai.(Made three films in a year, and each with a completely different role – I Want to Talk, Housefull 5, Kaalidhar Lapata… And in all three, such a performance that stood out, such characters – never once did it feel like this was Abhishek Bachchan.)”
